oh my goodness that awful those poor people,animals and plants. such a shame, is that what was on the news recently about it being started purposely or are these newer ones?
such a sad sad shame for all it effects

yes mookins,
this is a pic of those fires.
the old mining towns suffered badly, the more modern villiages fared better, because they were not made of wood.
jacque.
it is not going on now. just late in posting the pic.

Fantastic photo but of an awful subject. Very frightening...It reminds me of looking down the Okanagan Valley in 2003 which was an extremely bad fire year. The sky was a glowing orange for weeks. Even more frightening when the ash is falling on you all the time.
